When I think that, I always think about one of the last time I watched HBO's show Inside the NFL.
Collinsworth was talking about how he did a fantasy team just to see how good he would do. He mentioned his overall rank, which was something like 10,000 something. It was really bad. He was like, "It's my job to know this stuff. I get paid to look at film and I am doing that bad..." He like could not stand it for around the next 5 minutes.
I understand that side of it. I am talking more when you get this big of a group and a great mix of ex-players, coaches, GM's, scouts and so on. You are getting a perspective from all angles. I would also say Fantasy Football is not a great way to see how much a person really knows about football. Such as Tom Brady had a really down year yet I bet most would rank him in the top-5 quarterbacks. Fantasy Football also depends quite a bit on injuries. I drafted Julio Jones this last year in a couple of my leagues and when he was playing my team was winning. Once he went down I had to scramble some to find a consistent receiver to fill his spot. Same with RB's in you never know quite when they are going to go down. I understand he is an expert so probably should do better than that but there is a reason so many people watch these "experts" when they start talking Fantasy Football and who will be the sleepers and such.
